A facile approach to fabricate functional 3D macroscopic silica microtube networks using N,N'-methylenediacrylamide organogel as template.
Using N,N'-methylenediacrylamide organogel as a template and gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as the precursor, functional silica microtube networks (MTNs) with adequate mechanical strength and different surface groups were prepared by an easy and effective approach.
